First post - hello.

I recently bought a beautiful '97 VFR from an individual that took wonderful care of it.
Thank you, Dave!

I'd like to upgrade the stock grips to try to calm down the slight buzz I get a highway speeds.
I was hoping to get recommendations from experienced VFR owners.
What have you tried and liked or disliked?
Thanks.

I recommend ProGrip. Inexpensive, soft and color coordinated. Sorry, only had yellow pic.  Available in Red. Welcome to the VFR Family. I think you will enjoy your ride very much.

I like renthals but they are more of a raec grip than for comfort.

I second Sochiro on the Renthals, I used progrips for a long time, they just dont last.  My Renthals though are holding up much better.

Heavier bar ends can help with this a bit as well.

I have another question - Is is necessary to wire-on replacement grips or will just glueing them suffice?

Just spray some cheap hairspray in them and slide them on.  Works great for me, and I do ride in all weather.
